<p>Hi, I been reading a lot of the transfer threads and I have come up with some questions. But first here is some info on what Im planning on doing. Im trying to get into either Ucb Haas or Nyu Stern. Ill also apply to Columbia and Cornell just for laughs.</p>
<p>so here are my Questions:
1) I never took either the Sat, Sat II, or the Act when i was in high school. So do i need to take it now that i go to a cc?</p>
<p>2)Does it matter what cc you go to? Or are they all the same in the eyes of admissions?</p>
<p>3) My cc isn't offering winter courses due to California's budget problem. So should i find on that is? Or isn't a bad thing to take classes at multiple cc's?</p>
<p>1) Yes, you maybe required to take the SAT’s for NYU, Columbia, and Cornell depending on your standing with units. UC Berkeley does not require SAT’s for transfer admission.</p>
<p>2) Yes, Cornell tends to admit more transfer students in NY because of some transfer agreements. UC Berkeley is part of the public UC system and is extremely difficult for non-California residents.</p>
<p>3) Winter Intercession courses are not transferrable to some universities. Given that you’re from a California CC, winter courses are definantly transferrable to UC’s. It is never a bad thing to take classes at multiple CC’s. Just make sure you can be able to handle the courseload and commuting time.</p>
<p>I plan to have around 60 units completed by next fall when i start applying to transfer. If that helps with the sat question.</p>
<p>I know for Cornell, it depends on what school you apply to. Engineering, Hotel and Arts & Sciences will need SAT scores (I believe). CALS, ILR, and Ecology don’t need SATs from transfers; they only focus on what you’ve done in college.</p>
<p>Though taking an SAT II or two never hurts. If you do well and the test is from your major area, it’s great to have as a little bonus info for them.</p>
<p>As a side note, Cornell only allows up to 60 credits of transfer. They (hopefully) would never look at what community college you went to. If it offers courses for the correct amount of credits and you’re a full-time student, then you should be fine.</p>
<p>well for Columbia and Cornell i would apply to Seas or Gs and Cas</p>
<p>bump. if i plan to start applying next fall when should i take the act or sat? and which one should i take?</p>
<p>Take the SAT as soon as possible, so you can receive the scores to post it in your application before the deadline.</p>
<p>Note that Columbia GS is for non-traditional students.</p>
<p>alright well if im not going to start applying until next fall whats the latest i can wait? also should i take the sat over the act? or does it matter?</p>
<p>Take a real* practice test for both the SAT and the ACT. See which one you are more comfortable with/ do better on. You probably want to take the last test offered this school year, so you can retake it if necessary in the fall. </p>
<p>*by the organizations who make the SAT/ACT. They both have a big book of practice tests.</p>
